Lost Sock Evolution - Automated

For Backtesting, are you setting the spread or "current"?

I'd say Reboot PC and Terminals...giver another shot.

Something tripping you up when I don't have a whisper of this...

AHA!

If memory serves...there may have been an issue with one version of this core code written into this by Voldemar that tripped up on Step Lot.

Might be this version!!

Confirmed on my Strategy Tester!

This is EXACTLY the issue!

Will get this corrected for the public release version.

Ok cool,

Re-Wrote and launched mymarty last night

Couple of trades from the original logic, bulk from New Version...

Nice Day for this motherfucker...just glad it works!

Bad News on this one, dude...

Not sure I can fix this...it's a little above my abilities.

Will see if anything comes up over the weekend, but if not, just removing it altogether.

FIXED.

lol

Post 1 updated.

Added "Ev and Rev".

Evolution 1.1 added - Requires TMA+CG mladen indicator.
Revolution N - No Nedge Version of Revolution.

Yes...I've made some Modifications to the Evolution Code...even though we have seen some great success with the Revolution and No Nedge Logic, I still think that Evolution will always have a place in market.

The Draw Down on Evolution, at times, has exceeded anything that anybody would call reasonable. To this, there is no question!
But at the same time..given it's success in spite of the Draws and Equity Curve overall...while still maintaining an over 80% positive closing average, doubling an account balance in under 60 days - is still pretty fucking impressive.

Inside of the primary triggering of the original version, one of its dependencies was the TMA+CG indicator...used in 2 separate ways.
1. Overbought and Oversold - as applied to daily movements.
2. For immediate triggering - while separate trend definitions are present.

On the Backside Triggering - When the trend is against current trades - TMA+CG was also being employed...but very poorly!

This is Absolutely no fault of mladen nor the indicator, 100% on me...more laziness than anything.

There's only so much of an idea you can gain from watching backtests run...for me ZERO is in the equity curve...100% is in watching the logic.

I can only do this for so long and until you see hundreds of days of data on several pairs, you can never gain a full comprehension of all of the possibilities. Take this and the fact that the Data from Strat Testers and Market Conditions fluctuates...even if I was to watch hundreds of hours of this fucking dribble on historical charts, it still wouldn't necessarily be accurate...

However!!

Having run Evolution for almost 2 months now, I was able to catch some obvious issues in the logic...and have now corrected this...pretty sure I got it all correct...but will know more as we progress.

The ideas implemented should Delay the Primary Trigger to what I would consider better chances of making targets and the BackSide triggering is a lot more conservative.

Both of these may reduce profitability...but in the long run, they should also decrease the Draw Down and Risk.

I will be adding a New TE for Evolution 1.1 for the new week while still keeping my original running.

Revolution N1 or No Nedge.

Fairly impressed with this motherfucker after only a couple of short weeks in trade.

Testing 19 pairs, on a $3k account, with a minimum 2 pip grid, is flat out insane!

As most brokers have a Maximum Trade Allowance of 200 trades, this only allows around 10 trades per active pair...on a 2 pip minimum grid...this could easily be hit in mere hours...not weeks...and yet...here we are!

Revolution - More conservative than Evolution, in primary and secondary triggering, allows it to possibly keep more pairs in trade.

The No-Nedge portion is what HAS kept these trades as low, while still being as effective and profitable.

2 weeks, closing over 1000 trades, over 80% positive closing, while closing out over $400 in profit - AWESOME!

Fact is, it could have done this on a lot less equity and if one was selective in their pairs, could be even more...

There's not been a lot of history for Revolution NN yet...so as of now, it remains a GREAT START, but still more data needed. It took me almost 2 months to realize the issues with Evolution, could be the same for Revolution NN as well...

Fingers Crossed this kind of action continues...

If you have some spare space for testing and are giving any of the thread posted EAs a shot, please upload a Trade Explorer, here or myfxbook and post a link.

The more testers we have on deck...the more we can all learn together.

And...

As an Extra Incentive - Thread testers get in on the new releases a little earlier.

Awesome news Magix! Next week when my Evolution 1.0 test concludes I'll start up a new test with Evolution 1.1, this should be fun, as Evolution is and has been my favorite version so far in my tests.

With the 4 versions up and running, Evolution, Revolution, Prophecy, and now also GMO, are the Rev and Evo versions the ones you're focusing more on now?

I mean from all these versions each with their own unique differences, what will your main focus be on?

Truth be told, if it wasn't for your conviction and comments on Evolution, I would have probably just moved from it...

Thanks for the support, dude!

Also going to put some finishing touches on Evolution NN for next week as well...will launch a TE and verify triggering before I shoot it out to my distro.

Earlier trend shift detection...may give better profiting with reduced Draws...

Maybe?

Might have a Buffer Zone sorted for the No Nedge!!

Exciting Times!

w00t!

Not to post a Strat Test report...because that'd be kinda cunty since the only thread rule is to "Not post Backtest Reports"...

So...

I'm not going to do that...but I will say that the Evolution NN is looking very good.

Watching the triggering logic on the charts makes sense...this could conceivably produce almost Evolution Gains without Evolution Draw.

Still pondering the 3rd Entry for Grid Spacing...will maybe wait to see how shit works out and go from there!

Thanks for the comment, dude!

Opened up a lot of new doors!

Keep em coming!

\m/

May you share your set file my friend?

Default.

Load EA...Set AutoTrading...Done!

What you do with it, completely up to you.

All of my TE's and shared files are set to my personal optimization.

got it

Awesome work!
Thumbs up Magix

Hi Magix,

TE Set up.
Revolution NN
Evolution 1.1

Should you need additional tests for new ones, I have one space left on my VPS.

Cheers to a positive week.
